July 25, 1985|By Herky Cush

Karen Abernethy became part of another championship effort when the Lyman soccer star, who will be a junior in the fall, helped Tampa Black Watch Heather claim the U.S. Youth Soccer Association Under 16 Challenge Cup in Englewood, Colo. Black Watch defeated Michigan, 3-0, in the semifinals, and then tripped New York, 3-2, in the championship game. It took a goal in the final minute to defeat New York. Black Watch assumed a 2-0 lead but New York rallied to tie the game against the Black Watch reserves. With the regulars back in the game, Black Watch pulled out the victory. Abernethy received a special 14-carat lapel pin and a championship medal.
